I am looking for information on a 401k plan for myself. I know the information is easy to come by, but I am the type of person who likes to be very informed about this kind of thing. I get tons of information before I make a decision and I want information about everything surrounding a 401k plan.

For instance, I want to know what the repercussions are if I was to decide to do an early 401k withdrawal. I know that there are penalties for this sort of thing and I am curious to find out all about these penalties and what would be gained or lost from doing this.

I also want to know what my 401k max contributions would be for one year, so I could decide how much I was going to contribute each month. Like I said, I want to be informed about everything and if I keep asking questions, I will be.
